Have you found that with your procedure, to quote the blog piece, "new venous bypasses grow to replace the destroyed spermatic veins," as found in Gat and Goren's work in follow ups? Or is the long term data not there yet?

Thank you for taking a risk on this by the way. As someone who has family history it's heartening to know there are people taking this seriously.

We actually bypass the spermatic vessels. There is historical evidence that bypassing the spermatic vessels is a superior way to treat varicoceles. So our procedure shouldn’t have the recurrence (of varicoceles or bph) concerns. But this needs to be established through long term studies.

Thanks for sharing your story. It’s stories like yours — people with family histories and real-world experiences — that fuel everything we’re doing.
